Reply to comment by Sterling_Thunder in [Rapoport] Sources: Raiders QB Derek Carr has informed the team he won’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team. The team is expected to release him and he’ll be a top free agent. by BCLetsRide69

The colts would literally be "out of the frying pan into the fire" for Carr. At last the Jets have some hope to build on. The Colts need to be gutted and rebuilt but Irsay's going to waste his core for a few more years before he admits it. It's no place for a prized QB.

The Colts are going to be a bottom feeding team next year, Carr or no Carr. Mark my words.

What about the colts makes you think full rebuild? Qb and Oline are the only weaknesses and they’ll have Carr or a top rookie after April.

They need an entire new offense other than RB.

They have a lot of cap sucked into that oline which is going to make it much less of an easy fix than it looks on the surface. They also have huge needs in their secondary and LB corps and many key payers getting older/injury prone.

Couldn’t disagree more. The only 3 cap impacts on the OL are pretty good players (Nelson, Kelly, smith). Colts LBs are incredibly talented, hell Leonard might be top 5 at the position. Secondary could use help but Gilmore is still talented and two injured safeties are returning in ‘23-‘24. They get a quarterback and they are legit. Mark my words.

Nelson went from all-pro to dog water after he got paid though

I think the problem was him trying to block his assignment and his teammates rusher every play. Combo that with noodle arm Ryan turning it over and you kinda know what the year is and shut it down. Talent like that doesn’t just disappear.

Maybe you are right, but it is just as likely he pulled an Albert Haynesworth
